I took it way back to Week 1 this time. Week 1 and the current week, 21. Week 1 is completed with the Kraft kit, but I pulled out the Amber Edition with Week 21. I know now why I struggled using just one kit–I feel like I repeat my favorite pieces over and over. Having multiple kits is a good thing, as long as I don’t get too carried.. Read More
My summer countdown is at T-minus 7 days and counting. I promise to get completely caught up on PL pages as soon as school is out. This week, I was only able to complete the current week. Week 20: Journaling, left side: Week 20 in review: Monday–Ankle recheck with Dr Riehl. Everything looked great! Tuesday- dentist appointment. K’s teeth looked great but baby girl had FIVE cavities.Wednesday- relaxing evening at.. Read More
This past week has been extremely busy. The good kind of busy, but still, busy. I didn’t get to catch up on any layouts–I barely had time to complete this current week. I really need to do better about limiting my photos–maybe choosing only ONE photo per day, or one per ‘happening’. I’ve made myself a deal that once I’ve completed weeks 1-25, I can have them printed. Hopefully, this.. Read More
I had fully hoped to be completely caught up with PL 2014, but that didn’t happen. I did make some good progress, but I’m not there yet. And honestly, I didn’t work on the first layout on National Scrapbooking Day. All these layouts were completed during the evenings after the girls went to bed. No #NSD10K, Becky Higgins. Sorry. Week 4: Week 6: Week 18. This week had TONS of.. Read More
When I was little, I dreamed of having a sibling. Being an only child out in the country is tough–must be why I have such a vivid imagination now. After months (maybe years?) of wishing and hoping for someone to play with that would be MINE, it finally happened. One evening as I was getting ready for my bath, I saw something unusual in the trash can. I picked it.. Read More
I am so ready to catch up on this project (7 layouts until I’m up to date!). Hopefully, I can do that on National Scrapbooking Day (May 3). I am ready to be able to focus on one layout per week, but I’m also ready to get these printed and in my album! Week 7–I cheated just a little on this week’s layouts and strayed from the Kraft edition. These.. Read More
Linking up with The Mom Creative again for #TBTStories. My scrapbooking, memory-keeping heart is loving this! This photo was taken almost 9 years ago. Justin and I had been married around a year when we were invited to fly out to Las Vegas to watch Supercross Finals. That’s dirt bike racing, just so you know. And back when Travis Pastrana was still racing. It was our first “real” trip.. Read More
It’s amazing how much easier Project Life is when you let go of all the “fuss.” Is my album simple? Yes! Is that ok? Yes! Using only the Kraft edition has helped me tremendously–I have options for creativity, but not so much that I get lost. And best of all? This album is getting FINISHED! Week 8 Journaling, title card: Monday was supposed to be a holiday for us, but.. Read More
I’m not sure if it’s the story I’ve been sharing in the library (Baseball Saved Us by Ken Mochizuki), or the fact that she would have been ELATED about Kyndall’s baptism, but I’ve been thinking about Mamaw West a lot lately. I wanted her story to be the first I shared in participation with The Mom Creative’s link-up. ———————————————————————————————————— Oh, this woman. My heart swells with pride as I look.. Read More
If you read this Project Life post, you know that I started last week on PL 2014. That meant I had some catching up to do. This week, I was able to go back and finish Weeks 10-12, along with our current Week 15. Week 10. Journaling, left side bottom: We had a VERY busy week! It was book fair week in the library and Read Across America week. Monday.. Read More
